SOUND MAP
The island is part of the instrument
201 mapped places connect studios, neighbourhoods, dance lawns and streets to the records, interviews and relationships around them. Open a marker or place card to continue through the atlas — Jamaica is the default view, and the Diaspora toggle follows the sound to the cities it reached abroad.
